Very helpful, thanks. I was a bit confused by all the different parts and which end was for the male and female contacts. This laid it all out nicely.

[@12VoltPlanetTV]

Glad you found our video helpful :)

[@spirituallyinsane]

This is a very fine video that gives the full process of building these contacts. I was looking at switching to these connectors for a robot I'm working on (it's a boat), and I was having a bit of trouble making sense of all the parts in the connectors!

[@12VoltPlanetTV]

Hi Jonathan, We're happy you found our video helpful. Hopefully you managed to get them all made up easily for you boat but if you have any more issues let us know. :)

[@spirituallyinsane]

Biggest challenge right now is the outlay for yet another pair of crimpers. I have to sell the boss on dropping the cash for that, but I think I can make a case for it over the soldered non-sealing connectors we're using right now! Superseals are remarkably affordable in the waterproof/IPX7 connector space. Mostly we've used Bulgins, but they're no good for discrete wires.

[@12VoltPlanetTV]

The crimping tool is definitely the best tools for the job as it saves you damaging the seal and the terminal and it makes the job go quicker. These should make a very neat connection for your discrete wires and should look a lot better for you.

[@Ricqu]

Use grease when installing the wires with seal to the connector, they slide effortless into place and give extra protection against water or rusting.

[@josejgopar]

Thank you. Fantastic

[@madeljacky]

Can the pins be removed from the plastic holder if you accidently put the wrong wire into a hole and it needs to be removed? I have done this a few times and had to destroy the black holder and start again with the pins that were not damaged and replace the pins that were damaged along with a new holder.

[@sacs2000]

Great video

[@blackterminal]

Thanks for sharing this video

[@db1derek973]

Great informative vid

[@andrasordog1872]

thx!

[@hiersdable]

6:10 Did the wire move through the seal? Seems like this would indicate a failure of the crimp on the seal.

[@danielalien]

Oh man, so glad I found this, was I the only one putting them on BACKWARDS? I put the male pins in the female plastic housing etc.

[@12VoltPlanetTV]

Very easily done sadly, Glad this video helped you :)

[@vromandieter9268]

Yep did that 2

[@robotklipperservice3131]

Well done! I use a lot of Superseal connectors, but was looking for an info film to send to a friend that wants to try. Yours is very informative and easy to follow, thank you. And your crimping pliers are better than mine, mine overcrimp the seal retainer, looks like I'll have to switch. Do you ship to Norway?

[@12VoltPlanetTV]

Hi, Thank you for the kind feedback. Yes we do ship to Norway :)

[@willythebluebear]

thank you. i did not get any instructions with my connector, so i m happy i found this video.

Just bought your tool.

[@RoyerRogers545]

In regard to the female terminals. It looks like the locking tabs were crimped on the purple wire. Was that an accident? On the black wire it looks correct?

[@schrauberermel1758]

👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍

[@biranit50]

would have helpe dto tell us which direction (1 out of 4) to insert the pins!

[@mooman351]

Thankyou, these are a bit daunting at first glance

[@seanalexander5090]

Great video. What is the largest gauge wire compatible with these connectors?

[@12VoltPlanetTV]

Thanks for your kind feedback, With the version shown in the video it would be 1.5mm² however we do stock another version that can handle up to 2.5mm².

[@aku7598]

tq for the info But i use hot glue rather the seals given. It makes waterproof to and secure the cables without wobbling due to soft seals.

[@12VoltPlanetTV]

Hi, We have never heard of a customer suffering as a result of the seals wobbling as they are very secure in the fitting. Thank you for your feedback.

[@stuh4645]

Thanks, would be good to add de pinning to this video.

[@romkaizeris]

hey, osom instructions! wanted to askif it is possible to buy just a criping head as it is changeable and i already have a tool.

[@12VoltPlanetTV]

HI Romas, Sadly we do not stock just a crimping head.

[@maximilianpaech1944]

💯

[@rockyW46]

Hello thanks for the video, I wanted to ask you a question: how do you remove the red plastic part inside the connector? thanks

[@12VoltPlanetTV]

Hi, You don't this part should remain. It is a locking tab and will need to be a part of the connector.

[@rockyW46]

12 Volt Planet TV Hi ok thanks for the reply! Best regards.

[@stjuardsivcevic8571]

Hi. I wonder, if it is been asked before, but did not see a comment to that issue: would it be better to solder the stipped wire before being crimped? Any tip for that?

[@12VoltPlanetTV]

Hi, A good crimp should be all you need. We wouldn't recommend soldering.

[@astrixistheman]

Oh balls, My connector is diffrent but should of watched this first anway. Thought those wire rubber bits were inside seals. crimped and soldered then ralised my mistake. To be fair the 25amp wire im putting in a 20 amp connecter seems a bit big :)

[@vgrof2315]

Certainly an excellent video to clear up some confusion about assembly of these connectors. In view of Craig's accent, however, why not eliminate the music which makes it more difficult for an American to understand his every word?

[@12VoltPlanetTV]

We are aware of the feedback regarding the use of background music has received and have stopped using it. We are sadly unable to remove the music from this video at this time.

[@lloydr.6271]

Notice mention of downloadable instructions and pictures, no sign on the knowledge centre. Thanks.

[@12VoltPlanetTV]

Hi, Instructions and images can be found on the product page under manuals & guides. www.12voltplanet.co.uk/superseal-1-5-series-waterproof-connectors.html

[@gastonpazos8495]

Hi, first apologies for my English, is there a system for cables with a diameter greater than 10 awg? Crimp clamp is equal to dupont system or only thickens for this system? Excellent video and explanation, greetings !!

[@12VoltPlanetTV]

Hello Gaston, Sadly at this time we do not have anything similar that would be suitable for that size cable.

[@jackthebarb]

12 Volt Planet TV you guys should look at stocking the metri-pack connector or the weather-pack connectors they can take much larger cables

[@davidross5488]

How do you get the connectors out in order to replace the pins or bad cable?

[@12VoltPlanetTV]

Sadly they are very tricky to remove and quite often you can damage the housing by doing so. If you did wish to try however you could use a small flat blade screw driver to release the locking tab then pull the terminal and cable from the housing.

[@andy1way]

Very interesting and useful but ditch the crap background noise please.

[@miqelito23]

Can I take out one of those parts from the black part after to put inside 🤔🤔🤔

[@12VoltPlanetTV]

Hi Miguel, if you are looking to extract it, we have a tool for this on our website. The product code is P02114

[@chrisl2431]

how do i dissaeble them?

[@WaschyNumber1]

Do they exist also for 80v(for solar panel cable) ?

[@12VoltPlanetTV]

Sadly these connectors are not suitable for Solar Cable and we would recommend MC4 Connectors www.12voltplanet.co.uk/pair-of-malefemale-mc4-solar-connectors.html

[@nikolaicalderon2403]

Greetings. those connectors work with any wire gauge?

[@12VoltPlanetTV]

Hi Nikolai, Sadly not these connectors will only work with for 0.5 - 1.5mm² cable (20-16AWG)

[@k.w.lwildlifephotography9091]

Do you have to line up a specific colour cable to a hole?

[@12VoltPlanetTV]

Hi Keith, No you just need to make sure your cable line up but they can be in any configuration you wish.

[@jamiemccort8388]

Can I use a standard crimping tool for this or do I need to use the specific tool used in the video?

[@12VoltPlanetTV]

You will need to use the tool shown to prevent any damage to the seals.

[@jamiemccort8388]

12 Volt Planet TV Ok 👍🏻 Thanks for the reply 👍🏻

[@stevedouglas7500]

Hi, what's the difference between econoseal and superseal? I'm in the UK and my motorcycle is currently in Argentina. I need to source some connectors and pins before I return to my motorcycle. It's a modern Triumph and I assume it uses econoseal but I'm not sure. Do you happen to know? Great video, will help me sort a few issues on the bike.

[@12VoltPlanetTV]

Econoseals will use a different type of terminal although it is very similar to SuperSeal terminals. They also have a different locking system to hold the terminals in place. Both types are available on our website however should you need either connector. www.12voltplanet.co.uk/multi-way-connectors.html

[@Mikeaubert]

Can you link to the download for the instructions you mentioned in the video please.

[@edgarv.1603]

Good and detailed views in the video! My Problem is that I can´t push the red safety into the end position on the mother side...any suggests?

[@12VoltPlanetTV]

Hi Edgar, It sounds as though your terminals are either not locked into position or they may have become damaged. Try removing the terminals if they come out then it's simply that there not locking into place. Hope that helps and let us know how you get on.

[@edgarv.1603]

Thx for the quick answer! Its a 4 Connection Superseal, all 4 did their 'Click' and are in the right direction, I can move them all 1mm to the front out and again 3mm back to the lock. The clasps are goin in position if I get it a little force, but in the mid there is a little gap between Security Part and the jack housing. The 2 inner Pins from the 4 Pins of the Security Part seem to have an obstacle! It is connected and works but it could have a lttle more beauty (if I can say so, sorry for bad English - school lessons are a while ago)

[@12VoltPlanetTV]

Hi Edgar, Your English is good so no worries there ;). If possiable send me pictures of your connections and I can have a look and see it I can find anything to help? Email [e-mail].

You should make a video of how to take them off. The wire is off but the pin is left in there. I have no clue how to take just the pin out

[@12VoltPlanetTV]

Hi Alex, Thanks for your comment sadly they can be a nightmare as they are meant to stay in place thanks to locking tabs. If you get a flat head screwdriver you should be able to disengage the locking tab and then remove the pins. How this helps-Craig

[@zash008]

Bought a bunch of these off ebay so my install would be professional looking. Been trying to get one pin crimped and installed on one of the black things correctly for 2 hours. Gave up. Why didnt I go to youtube 1 hour 55 minutes ago?! I was almost fixing to cut my wires and just install insulated stak-ons or butt splices instead. Ebay seller should have included a link to this video with each order.

[@MoneyManHolmes]

Yeah the crappy instructions seem to be poorly translated from Chinese and they don’t make much sense. I’m glad I found this video.

[@brandonhooker4498]

Does anyone have a link to the dies/inserts used in the video? Can’t seem to find a set, don’t need to buy another crimp tool just for the dies.

[@12VoltPlanetTV]

Sadly at this time, the dies are not sold separately.

[@dralusion]

[@normancurly2008]

Can this connector be used as a bettert plug for 48v 2A charger. If i replace original connectors with this setup?

[@12VoltPlanetTV]

Sadly not these connectors can only handle 24VDC. Sorry

[@markturner7459]

At 2 amps I would, there is good separation. I've seen them survive 60vdc @ 3 amps just fine, but I'm sure this would not be condoned by AMP!

[@ankurkapoor3716]

How do you open these to take wires out of the connectors?

[@12VoltPlanetTV]

Hi Ankur, These units are not designed for that kind of usage. You would need to unlock the locking tab which is tricky and remove the seal without causing damage. Our recommendation is to use a brand new one to prevent damaging the connector.

[@vipertom1970]

what gauge wire is this good for ?

[@12VoltPlanetTV]

Hi, These can work with cable between 20-16 gauge. Hope that helps.

[@mikegracia1475]

Would a solar crimp tool work for this too?

[@12VoltPlanetTV]

Hi, Sadly not as the die could cause damage to the seal which would then result in water ingress. Very sorry

[@techstuff786]

@7.30 I'm trying to put the terminal into the connector but can't seem to push it in to lock it in place. I am using the 4 pin plug and 1 and 4 was no problem locking the terminal in but 2 and 3 no chance of locking the pin in. It will just go in sort of half way but then will bottom out but it's not locked. What's the reason for this?

[@techstuff786]

Sorted it, needed to use the flat screwdriver as you did in the video and give the back of the wires a tug to get them to lock in place. Kind of defeats the point of the seal though as the screwdriver digs into the seals and if not gentle (nearly impossible) enough can tear the "waterproof" seal but I guess it works so it's good enough.

[@Deontjie]

Watch in double speed.

[@richardschofield2201]

Has anybody had any success using either insulated or non-insulated crimping tool with these connectors?

[@12VoltPlanetTV]

Sadly these types of tools are known to cause damage to the seals which can lead to water ingress.

[@cri8tor]

Is there a way to remove a pin after its been inserted into either the female or male connector? I've had occasions where I needed to remove the pin, but couldn't.

[@12VoltPlanetTV]

Hi, There are special tools available however they are very expensive and therefore not widely available. At this time our advice is to simply purchase new terminals if required.

[@cri8tor]

Thank you

[@davidbeardsley7563]

Do you have a video showing how to remove pins please

[@12VoltPlanetTV]

Sadly, we do not these units are designed that they ideally stay in once installed.

[@MoneyManHolmes]

If these are similar to factory installed connectors, you can remove the plastic retainer and use a thin paper clip to release the locking tab on the pin.

[@xxrastababyxx]

Using these to replace the #£%#@ connectors on my ebike... bought the crimping tool.. feels good in the hand. Do you do 60V 50A connectors. I super glued the yellow bits on to the crimp. Wish I'd watched your video 1st :)
